Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims the priority benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201811631615.9 filed on December 28, 2018.

Field of the Disclosure

[0002] At least one embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a technical field of security inspection, and more particularly, to a millimeter wave security inspection apparatus and a method for inspecting a human or article by using the millimeter wave security inspection apparatus.

Description of the Related Art

[0003] In the prior arts, a security inspection apparatus, such as a security inspection apparatus for inspecting a human, usually operates with a millimeter wave imaging system. For example, CN203385856U discloses a millimeter wave three-dimensional holographic scanning imaging device comprising two millimeter wave transceiving antenna arrays horizontally positioned to perform double-sided scanning, a front side of the human is scanned by one of the two millimeter wave transceiving antenna arrays moving from top to bottom and a back side of the human is scanned by the other of the two millimeter wave transceiving antenna arrays moving from bottom to top. US2015/0293221A1 of Rohad & Schwarz GmbH & Co. discloses a millimeter wave imaging system with area array scanning, where in order to scan both sides of the human, the human needs to turn if only one plane array is used (QPS 100), or two plane arrays are used to scan front and back sides of the human (QPS 200). Thus, in order to scan the front and back sides of the human, two millimeter wave transceiving arrays (linear arrays or area arrays) are used in the prior arts, so that the cost is high; if only one array of millimeter wave transceiving antennas is used, the human needs to turn, thereby reducing the passing rate. Further background art is disclosed in EP3396405, EP3399333, US2011/163231, CN108627880 and WO2016/161362.

Therefore, the above description is to be understood as a broad disclosure for those skilled in the art, and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0024] In addition, in the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

[0025] According to a general technical concept of the present disclosure, there is provided a millimeter wave security inspection apparatus, comprising: a door device comprising a first door and a second door arranged in a stacked mode, each of the first door and the second door being made of a material allowing a millimeter wave to penetrate there through; a millimeter wave transceiver arranged between the first door and the second door and comprising an millimeter wave transceiving antenna array configured to transmit a millimeter wave signal to an entrance side and an exit side of the door device, respectively, and to receive the millimeter wave signal reflected from the entrance side and the exit side of the door device, respectively; and a linear driver, the millimeter wave transceiver being connected to the linear driver to be movable between the first door and the second door relative to the door device under driving of the linear driver, so as to scan a first side of an object to be inspected in a state where the object is positioned at the entrance side and to a second side of the object opposite to the first side in a state where the object is positioned at the exit side.

[0026] Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view illustrating a millimeter wave security inspection apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 1, the millimeter wave security inspection apparatus 100 comprises a door device 10, a millimeter wave transceiver 20 and a linear driver 30. The door device 10 comprises a first door and a second door arranged in a stacked manner, each of the first door and the second door being made of a material allowing a millimeter wave to penetrate there through, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, or the like. The millimeter wave transceiver 20 is provided between the first door and the second door, and comprises an millimeter wave transceiving antenna array 29 configured to transmit a millimeter wave signal to an entrance side and an exit side of the door device 10, respectively, and to receive the millimeter wave signal reflected from the entrance side and the exit side of the door device 10, respectively. The millimeter wave transceiver 20 is connected to the linear driver 30 so as to be movable in a vertical direction between the first door and the second door relative to the door device 10 under driving of the linear driver 30. When an object 200 to be inspected is positioned at the entrance side of the door device 10, the door device 10 is closed, then the millimeter wave transceiver 20 transmits the millimeter wave signal to the entrance side of the door device 10 and receives the millimeter wave signal reflected by the object 200 to be inspected at the entrance side of the door device 10, and a first side (e.g., a front side) of the object 200 is scanned by the millimeter wave transceiver 20 while the millimeter wave transceiver 20 is moved in the vertical direction (e.g., from top to bottom); after the first-side has been scanned, the door device 10 opens to form a passage, so as to allow the object 200 to pass through the door device 10; and after the object 200 has passed through the door device 10, the door device 10 is closed, and then the millimeter wave transceiver 20 transmits a millimeter wave signal to the exit side of the door device 10 and receives the millimeter wave signal reflected by the object 200 at the exit side of the door device 10, and a second side (for example, a back side) of the object 200 is scanned by the millimeter wave transceiver 20 while the millimeter wave transceiver 20 is moved in the vertical direction (for example, from bottom to top). In this way, the first side and the second side opposite to the first side of the object 200 are scanned without turning the object 200 during a whole scanning process, thereby improving the passing rate. In addition, the millimeter wave security inspection apparatus 100 has a door-shaped structure so that the footprint area of the millimeter wave security inspection apparatus 100 is far smaller than that of the existing millimeter wave security inspection apparatus.

[0027] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, the millimeter wave transceiver 20 comprises a millimeter wave emission source 21, a millimeter wave local oscillator 22, a first power divider 23, a second power divider 24, a first mixer 25, a second mixer 26, a I/Q demodulator 27, a switch 28 and the millimeter wave transceiving antenna array 29. The millimeter wave emission source 21 generates a millimeter wave signal, the first power divider 23 is connected to the millimeter wave emission source 21 and divides the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave emission source 21 into two millimeter wave sub-signals, one millimeter wave sub-signal is output to a transmitting antenna array of the millimeter wave transceiving antenna array 29, and other millimeter wave sub-signal divided by the first power divider 23 and one millimeter wave sub-signal output from the millimeter wave local oscillator 22 and divided by the second power divider 24 are mixed by the first mixer 25 to form a reference signal; the other millimeter wave sub-signal output from the millimeter wave local oscillator 22 and divided by the second power divider 24 and a millimeter wave signal received by a receiving antenna array of the millimeter wave transceiving antenna array 29 are mixed by the second mixer 26 to form a measurement signal; the measurement signal and the reference signal are demodulated by the I/Q demodulator 27 to generate millimeter wave hologram data.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1 and 3, the linear driver 30 comprises a linear transmission mechanism and a driving mechanism 31. The linear transmission mechanism comprises a driven wheel 32 rotatably connected to the door device 10 and a conveyor belt 33 (e.g., a toothed belt) connected to the driving mechanism 31, and the millimeter wave transceiver 20 is connected to the conveyor belt 33 to move under driving of the conveyor belt 33. The door frame 11 is provided with a receiving groove 111 located between the first door and the second door and adapted to receive the linear transmission mechanism. The driving mechanism 31 (such as a gear motor) is adapted to drive the conveyor belt 33 of the linear transmission mechanism to move, and is connected to the controller 40 to drive the millimeter wave transceiver 20 to move under control of the controller 40. It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the linear driver 30 may be of other types, such as a linear actuator, a piston cylinder, etc.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1, the millimeter wave security inspection apparatus 100 may further comprise a data processor 50. The data processor 50 is connected to the millimeter wave transceiver 20 wirelessly or in a wired manner (for example, by a wire) to receive the data from the millimeter wave transceiver 20, and configured to generate the millimeter wave holographic image with high resolution by an image reconstruction algorithm, and to automatically identify a suspicious object by an automatic identification algorithm.

The display 60 is connected to the data processor 50 and configured to receive and display the millimeter wave hologram image generated by the data processor 50.

In this way, after the object 200 has been inspected by the millimeter wave security inspection apparatus 100, the isolation device 70 will be opened if the object 200 does not carry any suspicious object, and if the object 200 carries a suspicious object, the isolation device is kept closed to intercept the object 200 and send out an alarm.

[0036] It should be noted that, although in this embodiment, the millimeter wave transceiving antenna array 29 of the millimeter wave transceiver 20 are arranged in a double-sided manner, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, two millimeter wave transceivers placed back-to-back and close proximity to each other may be used, including a first millimeter wave transceiver 20 and a second millimeter wave transceiver 20' (shown in Fig. 8), wherein the first millimeter wave transceiver 20 comprises a first millimeter wave transceiving antenna array configured to transmit a millimeter wave signal to the entrance side of the door device 10 and to receive the millimeter wave signal reflected by the object 200 to be inspected at the entrance side of the door device 10; and the second millimeter wave transceiver comprises a second millimeter wave transceiving antenna array configured to transmit a millimeter wave signal to the exit side of the door device 10 and to receive the millimeter wave signal reflected by the object 200 at the exit side of the door device 10.
